Large-Scale Fabricator Expands Paint Capabilities

D&S Manufacturing, Black River Falls, WI, announced plans to upgrade its offline liquid spray-painting system and to integrate powder-coating capabilities by installing one of the largest coating booths in the Midwest at its production facility. The 200- by 30-ft. booth, which features a unique door that disappears under the floor rather than overhead, will be able to accommodate components weighing as much as 10,000 lb. D&S supplies large components, assemblies and weldments to a range of customers including Caterpillar, Oshkosh Corp. and The Trane Co.
